I might be late to this, since the article I read was datelined July 31, but am sorry to hear that Kathie Lee fell and fractured her pelvis.  And this, shortly after hip replacement surgery, gack.

She has said that the pelvic fracture is even worse than the pain she experienced with the surgery.  So sorry to hear this-- hoping that she heals soon.

She was just on with Hoda & Jenna very recently.  Not sure what the occasion was.  Usually it's a book or a movie or something.

I am very sorry to hear this.  From what I know about Kathie Lee Gifford, I like her very much and have respect for her.  I wish her a speedy and good recovery.

She just wrote another book. She was promoting it on "Hoda and Jenna." She said she was having a lot of difficulty following doctor's orders as she has difficulty with being inactive. I guess, unfortunately, she wasn't able to sit around. I also read she found this injury worse than the hip surgery. Prayers for her recovery.💕💐

She is back home once again, recovering.

@Oznell  I was sorry to hear that she fell & fractured her pelvis & she admits that she had overdid packing books.  She was lucky she was able to spend a week in the hospital as around here after 3-4 days being over a certain age one is sent to rehab as the hospital just doesn't have the room.

Too bad she didn't listen to her doctor.

I read that she didn't follow the protocols you need to follow after her THA (hip replacement).    I have had a THA after a really bad hip disintegration (due to a congenital joint condition).   You need to allow the bone to grow into and around the prosthesis.   If you don't, it won't heal properly.   A patient must sleep differently, exercise in a certain way, and avoid moving the joint in certain normal positions to allow it to heal correctly.   You must avoid certain foods.   These restrictions are annoying, to say the least but 100% necessary.

I'm sorry that she had to go through this, but joint replacements take time and effort to heal.   You have to respect the process for lasting success.   I hope and pray that she follows instructions now and heals completely.

This is news to me @Oznell so I appreciate your post. I've always been a fan and so sorry to hear she's going through this...

I happened upon a recipe online today that was Regis's favorite pasta recipe. Then that took me to Joy making it on the Today show, then I was reading about Joy and then Kathie Lee. You know how one thing takes you down that rabbit hole and you're all over the place. I was reading about some of what she's been through. And here we are again-- must have been a terrible struggle and a lot of pain. Can't even imagine.
